# narrow

A type that specifies the narrow day period if the locale prefers using day period with hour.

## Declaration

```swift
static let narrow: Date.FormatStyle.Symbol.Hour.AMPMStyle
```

## Discussion

Discussion This type represents the hour period in a narrow format where appropriate. For example, when used with defaultDigits, this style may represent 8 a.m. as 8 or 8a, and 1 p.m. as 13, or 1p. With twoDigits, this style produces 08 or 08a, and 13 or 01p, respectively.
